I am five foot and nine inches tall. You'll have to translate that. Of course I'm taller when I'm wearing shoes. People always think I'm tiny until they meet me for the first time. They'll be like "Huh. You're tall!"

I'm a 34C - I always have been. My weight does go up and down. People expect me to be a little thing but I'm 5ft 9in with muscular legs.
